Quick update for yesterday. Local festival, good day out. Wandered around stalls and tripped over dogs whilst watching the never ending noisy antics of excited children. Am thinking a few people will have no voice or at least very sore throats today after their efforts, the childrens entertainment crew were pirates and spent the day yelling ah me heartys and much ho ho ho ing. Competition was all things nautical, like rod casting and canoe races and pirates kidnapping school teachers and making them walk the plank etc. This was called the Kalbarri Crayfish and Canoe Festival.....was expecting to see stalls selling lots and lots of crays either fresh or cooked, sadly, we saw no actual crayfish. Couple of food stalls were doing sausage sizzle and the fish and chip shop over the road from the festival area was doing a roaring lunchtime trade as were the local pubs and clubs. At one stage it took 15 minutes for us to locate the one and only stall selling bottled water, note to self, take some with me next time I go to such events and yes I know bottled water costs more per litre than petrol!!!! Still we wandered around all the stalls and looked at all the merchandise and only bought items one simply could not manage without (beads) and strolled home again to spend the rest of the day in quiet contemplation.
